NOVA VULGATA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Haec dixit Dominus ad me: “ Vade et posside tibi lumba re lineum etpones illud super lumbos tuos et in aquam non inferes illud ”.	1 Thus saith the Lord to me: Go, and get thee a linen girdle, and thou shalt put it about thy loins, and shalt not put it into water.
2 Et possedilumbare iuxta verbum Domini et posui circa lumbos meos.	2 And I got a girdle accoding to the word of the Lord, and put it about my loins.
3 Et factus est sermoDomini ad me secundo dicens:	3 And the word of the Lord came to me the second time, saying:
4 “ Tolle lumbare, quod possedisti, quod estcirca lumbos tuos, et surgens vade ad Euphraten et absconde ibi illud inforamine petrae ”.	4 Take the girdle which thou hast got, which is about thy loins, and arise, and go to the Euphrates, and hide it there in a hole of the rock.
5 Et abii et abscondi illud ad Euphraten, sicut praeceperatmihi Dominus.	5 And I went, and hid it by the Euphrates, as the Lord had commanded me.
6 Et factum est, post dies plurimos dixit Dominus ad me: “Surge, vade ad Euphraten et tolle inde lumbare, quod praecepi tibi, utabsconderes ibi ”.	6 And it came to pass after many days, that the Lord said to me: Arise, go to the Euphrates, and take from thence the girdle, which I commanded thee to hide there.
7 Et abii ad Euphraten et fodi et tuli lumbare de loco, ubiabsconderam illud; et ecce, computruerat lumbare, ita ut nulli usui aptum esset.	7 And I went to the Euphrates, and digged, and took the girdle out of the place where I had hid it: and behold the girdle was rotten, so that it was fit for no use.
8 Et factum est verbum Domini ad me dicens:	8 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
9 “ Haec dicit Dominus: Sicputrescere faciam superbiam Iudae et superbiam Ierusalem multam;	9 Thus saith the Lord: after this manner will I make the pride of Juda, and the great pride of Jerusalem to rot.
10 populus istepessimus — qui nolunt audire verba mea et ambulant in pravitate cordis suiabieruntque post deos alienos, ut servirent eis et adorarent eos — erit sicutlumbare istud, quod nulli usui aptum est.	10 This wicked people, that will not hear my words, and that walk in the perverseness of their heart, and have gone after strange gods to serve them, and to adore them: and they shall be as this girdle which is fit for no use.
11 Sicut enim adhaeret lumbare adlumbos viri, sic agglutinavi mihi omnem domum Israel et omnem domum Iudae, dicitDominus, ut esset mihi in populum et in nomen et in laudem et in gloriam, et nonaudierunt.	11 For as the girdle sticketh close to the loins of a man, so have I brought close to me all of the house of Israel, and all the house of Juda, saith the Lord: that they might be my people, and for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory: but they would not hear.
12 Dices ergo ad eos sermonem istum: Haec dicit Dominus, Deus Israel: Omnislaguncula implebitur vino. Et dicent ad te: “Numquid ignoramus quia omnislaguncula implebitur vino?”.	12 Thou shalt speak therefore to them this word: Thus saith the Lord God of Israel: Every bottle shall be filled with wine, and they shall say to thee: Do we not know that every bottle shall be filled with wine?
13 Et dices ad eos: Haec dicit Dominus: Ecce egoimplebo omnes habitatores terrae huius et reges, qui sedent de stirpe Davidsuper thronum eius, et sacerdotes et prophetas et omnes habitatores Ierusalemebrietate;	13 And thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord: Behold I will fill all the inhabitants of this land, and the kings of the race of David that sit upon his throne, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem. with drunkenness.
14 et collidam eos, virum in fratrem suum et patres et filiospariter, ait Dominus; non parcam et non concedam neque miserebor, ut nondisperdam eos ”.	14 And I will scatter them every man from his brother, and fathers and sons in like manner, saith the Lord: I will not spare, and I will not pardon: nor will I have mercy, but to destroy them.
15 Audite et auribus percipite; nolite elevari, quia Dominus locutus est.	15 Hear ye, and give ear: Be not proud, for the Lord hath spoken.
16 Date Domino Deo vestro gloriam, antequam contenebrescat, et antequam offendant pedes vestri ad montes caliginosos; exspectabitis lucem, et ponet eam in umbram mortis et in caliginem.	16 Give ye glory to the Lord your God, before it be dark, and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains: you shall look for light, and he will turn it into the shadow of death, and into darkness.
17 Quod si hoc non audieritis, in abscondito plorabit anima mea a facie superbiae; plorans plorabit et deducet oculus meus lacrimam, quia captus est grex Domini.	17 But if you will not hear this, my soul shall weep in secret for your pride: weeping it shall weep, and my eyes shall run down the tears, because the flock of the Lord is carried away captive.
18 “ Dic regi et dominatrici: In humo sedete, quoniam descendit de capite vestro corona gloriae vestrae.	18 Say to the king, and to the queen: Humble yourselves, sit down: for the crown of your glory is come down from your head.
19 Civitates austri clausae sunt, et non est qui aperiat; translata est omnis Iuda transmigratione perfecta.	19 The cities of the south are shut up, and there is none to open them: all Juda is carried away captive with an entire captivity.
20 Leva oculos tuos et vide venientes ab aquilone: Ubi est grex, qui datus est tibi, pecus inclitum tuum?	20 Lift up your eyes, and see, you that come from the north: where is the flock that is given thee, thy beautiful cattle?
21 Quid dices, cum visitaverit te? Tu enim ipsa docuisti eos adversum te, amicos in caput tuum; numquid non dolores apprehendent te quasi mulierem parturientem?	21 What wilt thou say when he shall visit thee? for thou hast taught them against thee, and instructed them against thy own head: shall not sorrows lay hold on thee, as a woman in labour?
22 Quod si dixeris in corde tuo: “Quare venerunt mihi haec?”. Propter multitudinem iniquitatis tuae revelatae sunt laciniae tuae, pollutae sunt plantae tuae.	22 And if thou shalt say in thy heart: Why are these things come upon me? For the greatness of thy iniquity, thy nakedness is discovered, the soles of thy feet are defiled.
23 Numquid mutare potest Aethiops pellem suam aut pardus varietates suas? Tunc et vos poteritis benefacere, cum didiceritis malum.	23 If the Ethiopian can change his skin, or the leopard his spots: you may also do well, when you have learned evil.
24 Et disseminabo eos quasi stipulam, quae raptatur in vento deserti.	24 And I will scatter them as stubble, which is carried away by the wind in the desert.
25 Haec sors tua parsque mensurae tuae a me, dicit Dominus, quia oblita es mei et confisa es in mendacio.	25 This is thy lot, and the portion of thy measure from me, saith the Lord, because thou hast forgotten me, and hast trusted in falsehood.
26 Unde et ego sublevabo lacinias tuas super faciem tuam, et apparebit ignominia tua,	26 Wherefore I have also bared my thighs against thy face, and thy shame hath appeared.
27 adulteria tua et hinnitus tuus, scelus fornicationis tuae. Super colles in agro vidi abominationes tuas. Vae tibi, Ierusalem! Non mundaberis; usquequo adhuc? ”.	27 I have seen thy adulteries, and thy neighing, the wickedness of thy fornication: and thy abominations, upon the hills in the field. Woe to thee, Jerusalem, wilt thou not be made clean after me: how long yet?
